Does anyone have any advice on newborns not sleeping at night. Like it might sound stupid but my little boy is awake from 11ish till 9 am. Wanting to play but sleeps really well in the day.
It's perfectly normal as the others have said they don't know the difference between night & day just yet. But you can start to behave differently during the day & night so they start to. I keep things light, bright & noisy as usual during the day. Lots of chatter, hoovering etc. Even during nap time. Don't tip toe around him. During the night, keep things as quiet as possible. I never talk unless I'm singing a lullaby or saying goodnight. Used the landing light or street light when feeding etc. Eventually they'll start to wake more during the day & sleep longer at night but for now it's eat, sleep, change, repeat 24/7 for a while lol.
@sarahthe hopefully not but who knows. It's up to you but your parents taking him won't necessarily change the routine he will grow out of it when hes ready x
My daughter did this for 2 months. I just made sure as soon as it was light i opened the windows so she knew it was day time and night time I closed them. At that age they don't understand night and day but it'll go soon hun like Olivia said you just have to ride it out unfortunately x
